Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) - tråden (sammanfogad)

Jag har använt Kratom från och till under några månaders tid. Den senaste tiden har det blivit dagligen, och ganska stora doser.

Häromdagen var jag fri från Kratom i cirka 24 timmar. Jag sov ganska mycket. Drömde hemska mardrömmar. I vaket tillstånd hade jag ont i hela kroppen, svettningar, frossa och en fruktansvärd ångest som vägrade släppa. Självmordstankar. Allt hemskt du kan tänka dig. Till slut klarade jag inte pressen längre och intog en mindre dos Kratom, och efter cirka en halvtimme började jag känna mig som en människa igen och kunde äntligen pusta ut och slappna av.

Vad fan ska jag göra? Jag klarar inte avtändningen, det känns som jag blir galen. Ångesten vägrar ju släppa. 24 timmars konstant ångest kan väl få vem som helst att bli galen. Jag är ledig nu under helgen, och funderar på att försöka en ny avtändning.

Men jag måste ha råd och tips. Ni som har varit i liknande situationer - hur ska jag bära mig åt? Hur länge kommer helvetet att vara? Snälla hjälp mig!

A whole week without Demon K.
This subreddit has helped me tremendously! I still have crippling insomnia, I had to call out today because I had zero sleep, im trying not to stress myself out tomorrow, and told myself if I need to call out, call out. My appetite has came back and ate a delicious steak today. Stay strong people.

10 months free of kratom
Haven’t been in this thread in a while but just wanted to share that i realized i’ve made it to now 10 months kratom free! My last dose was on Oct 31st, 2020 (i made a note in my phone which is what brought me back here)

Just an update i was taking about 18-20 GPD for about 2 years before quitting. The first couple months i experienced everything from back pain, restlessness, fatigue and all the common symptoms. The only thing that really helped me was charlotte’s web cbd for the withdrawals. Fast forward to today, i haven’t thought about kratom in months. Also here to tell you that you can be happy without it.

The most common question we get is what to expect when you finally take the plunge and quit kratom. While everyone is different, there are some common symptoms to expect.

Day 1. Often a fairly good day. You're all revved up to quit and though some start to feel withdrawal symptoms immediately, for many it takes 24 to 48 hours.

Days 2 - 5. These are most likely going to be the roughest days physically. The flu-like symptoms usually begin at some point after 24 hours and can last for 3 or 4 days. You may experience some or all of the following symptoms: Runny nose Yawning Sneezing Body aches Temperature fluctuations--hot flashes and chills Fatigue Insomnia Restless Leg Syndrome (it can also affect the arms) Sweating Nausea Diarrhea A feeling of heaviness in the body

Day 6 - 14 Though the heavy duty physical symptoms usually start to abate around day 5, during the next week there can be lingering fatigue, heaviness, insomnia, body aches, RLS, and other physical symptoms, while the mental symptoms of anxiety, irritability, lack of motivation, and depression begin to grow. Sometimes this feels like the toughest week because you've been battling the physical ailments and are worn down, and you were hoping the symptoms would be all gone by now. It's important to remember that you ARE doing better than you were a week ago, and that every single thing you're feeling is temporary. Getting through the first couple of weeks is a MAJOR accomplishment.

Somewhere between Day 6 - 30 Generally speaking, this period is when the physical symptoms improve but emotional/mental symptoms can kick in. This is called PAWS--Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome, or basically the time after the harsh physical symptoms subside. Not everyone gets PAWS and the amount of time it lasts varies widely. Though we often think the physical symptoms are the hardest part, when the emotional/mental side kicks in is often when the real job of quitting kratom begins. It can be hard to differentiate what is PAWS and what is depression/anxiety, leading many to turn to anti-depressants and other medications. Symptoms of PAWS include: Attacks of anxiety Irritability Sudden mood swings Fatigue Lack of motivation Insomnia Inability to concentrate Obsessive thoughts Fluctuating energy levels Memory loss Difficulty in solving problems and thinking clearly Depression

Day 30 - Day 180 Some people feel 100% better by Day 30, some by Day 60, and for some who used heavily or for a long time, it can take up to 6 months. The important thing to remember is that during this time, most of the days are good ones. Bouts of depression, anxiety, or insomnia come in waves, with less and less frequent and harsh waves as time goes on. As with every stage in the healing process, the most important thing you can tell yourself is that this, too, shall pass. No matter how long or heavily you've used kratom, you WILL heal and feel completely yourself again.
